Now that Cain has been exiled to wander the earth by God, he leaves from the presence of God and in time builds a city. What becomes of his descendants? And is Scripture trying to give us a message in describing this line?
After the Fall, the man and his wife are driven from the Garden of Eden to face the harshness of life. Clinging to the promise of God (Genesis 3:15), Eve believes that she has given birth to the Messiah.
Once God finished pronouncing judgment on the serpent (Satan) and the woman, He finally judged Adam. And once this was done He expelled him from the garden. But, before He cast them out, He clothed them both. Join me to see what is going on by this act.
After Adam sinned God brought judgment, beginning with the serpent, then Satan, then the woman and finally Adam. It is important to remember that it was Adam’s sin ALONE that brought the sentence of death. However, they all were punished because they willingly contributed to the downfall of the man in disobedience to God. (See 1 Corinthians 15:21-22; Romans 5:14-18)
After God formed a place where the man could have fellowship with Him (the Garden in Eden), we are introduced to two trees – the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Adam (alone) is commanded not to eat of the tree of knowledge. God then proceeds to allow him to name all of the animals, indicating his authority over the earth. In doing so, he also allows him to see his uniqueness and aloneness. So, He proceeds to make him a suitable companion – Eve.
